Ben replied to the topic JOINING THE NAVY, I will not be available nearly as much. in the forum Pirates CSG 1 day, 1 hour ago
I bid thee farewell (for now)…
If you ever get bored with Pirates CSG or feel it needs more “fresh” content, please take a long look at the massive quantity of stuff here on the site. Especially when you really delve into the categories, tags, Rankings, videos, podcasts, and Battle Reports, the quantity is staggering. Just because it seems “o…[Read more]

Ben started the topic Named crew based on users in the forum Pirates CSG 1 day, 13 hours ago
The idea of making a Pirates CSG named crew based on someone from the online community was the topic of some of my first posts on Miniature Trading. I don’t have time to make any right now but at least now the thread is out there. (if you make any, no drama please)

Ben replied to the topic Game Ideas in the forum Pirates CSG 3 days, 11 hours ago
I could get behind a structured competitive gambling scene for Pirates. With money on the line there may be a need for more strict guidelines on fleet builds. Las Vegas would be the perfect place to test out this theory!!! 🙂
No kidding! I’m starting to think the idea has some merit. There could be specific tables for various rulesets, with a v…[Read more]

Naturally this has been proposed before, but I haven’t added it to the main page yet.
-Play with real money
When setting up the game, everyone contributes real coins. This would most likely be pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters, or just one of the above so each island would have the same amount. It would be interesting if there was some way to hi…[Read more]

Ben started the topic Personal Stats Over the Years in the forum Pirates CSG 4 days, 11 hours ago
Another continuation of something I started at Miniature Trading. 9 years of Pirates CSG. 2019 was apparently my first year not doing any real trades, but it was still a fun year overall. I didn’t add the campaign games to the total because those simply represent CG4 and The Hourly Campaign continuing as normal.

Ben replied to the topic VASSAL module in the forum Pirates CSG 4 days, 11 hours ago
Haven’t posted the VASSAL standings in a long time… I’m sure this list is missing games, but it should include all of the VASSAL games I’ve been involved in along with a handful of others.
-For this list, games only count as losses if less than 4 players/fleets are involved.

American Canoes over Zeus for sure. It’s a big scary ship that’s horribly underpriced, but it’s still a single basket of eggs. The canoes can scatter in five directions, and are quick enough that even without chaining them, they can pull in a lot of gold before an opponent hunts them all down.
Both are extremely good, just hard to compare. I have…[Read more]

Just finished rereading the reports for VASSAL Campaign Game 3, certainly one of my all time favorite games.

CG4 has continued with some interesting developments, especially regarding my own factions.

I was about to make a site post about ranking the Top 10 overall game pieces. I’m finding it extremely difficult. XD This is my current draft of that post but it is really up for endless debate to say the least. 🙂 Feel free to release your own list!

Ben replied to the topic Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code in the forum Pirates CSG 1 week ago
Being pinned restricts movement, which includes the movement caused by towing, so the Sea Monster has to release it first.
If Fear on a nearby ship hit that same Sea Monster with a 5 roll, that would theoretically release that pinned ship correct? (since then the Sea Monster would be pinned instead with the keyword cancelled) If that happened,…[Read more]

Ben commented on the post, Pirates: 2019 Year in Review 1 week, 2 days ago
@Xerecs: Great comment! CG’s take a TON of time. I wasn’t aware/didn’t remember that this year’s CoEC was on more of a time constraint.
I’ve lost count of how many Pirates Podcasts I’ve been in, but each and every one was fun to make and participate in.
Love hearing that! 🙂
I want to be able to make some headway with my SS project on VAS…
